I am a graduate of Blue Springs High School.  Following my high school years, I continued on to get a Bachelors Degree in Middle School Math Education from UMKC as well as a Masters Degree in Athletic Administration from William Woods University.  I have completed 6 years of teaching here at Moreland Ridge Middle School, and have been the head girls' basketball coach for all six of those years.  This is also my third year of coaching the JV softball team at Blue Springs High School.
